Extreme Athlete, Wellness Coach, Yoga Instructor
Hi, I’m Amy. I’m an ultramarathoner, trail runner, and mountain athlete with a love for pushing limits in some of the world’s most incredible landscapes. I’ve run ultras across Mexico, England, and Guatemala and climbed peaks like Pico de Orizaba. Whether you’re gearing up for your first endurance event, planning a long-distance trail run, or just looking to balance adventure with recovery, I’m happy to share my experience.
For me, the outdoors is about movement, challenge, and mental clarity.
I grew up in Yorkshire, where I spent my childhood running through the countryside, hiking with my grandad, and learning to appreciate the quiet power of nature. As I traveled, I realized that no matter where I was in the world, the mountains, forests, and trails always felt like home. Running, climbing, and pushing myself physically became not just a passion, but a way of life.

Hi, I’m Dehn—trail runner, filmmaker, father of five, and lifelong adventurer. I grew up in Lake Tahoe, where backcountry routes and alpine lakes were part of daily life. That love for wild places inspired me to launch Vacation Races, a running event series near national parks—and later, Global Adventures, where I designed multi-day travel experiences that combined endurance, cultural immersion, and unforgettable landscapes.
I’ve led ultramarathons through the desert, family backpacking trips in Yosemite, and youth groups into the wilderness to show them what they’re capable of. My goal? Help people reconnect with nature, reset their perspectives, and walk away with stories they’ll never forget. Whether you’re chasing big summits, planning your first park trip, or navigating the world with your kids in tow—I’m here to help.

Trip Designer, Former Travel Agent
Hi, I’m David. I’ve been designing customized travel itineraries for individuals and small groups since 1984, with a lifelong passion for southern Europe. I specialize in creating journeys that are deeply personalized—whether that means finding a charming guesthouse tucked into a medieval village or a luxurious five-star retreat famous for its service and style.
Originally from the U.S., I now call Montefalco, Umbria home. After years of planning trips across Italy, Switzerland, Spain, and Great Britain, I decided to live full-time in the region I love most. I help travelers experience the real heartbeat of Italy—mountaintop towns, local vineyards, historic cities—and can also craft seamless adventures across Europe, blending iconic highlights with hidden gems. Whether you’re traveling solo, with family, or planning a special luxury escape, I’m here to design an experience that feels personal, meaningful, and unforgettable.
